I'm so glad it's sunny today. It will be a nice day to bury my Grams. I can almost feel the heaven's shining down on the event. Wasn't my Gram's beautiful? This is the picture I have at the Barn of her. I had so many people who looked at this picture and even one man wanted to buy it!

I printed a copy of this picture of the sign for Ella Mae's Barn and tucked it into her casket. The barn was a big deal to her. She wanted something for her namesake and since I never wanted to have children-that wasn't going to happen. But my Grams and I shared a love of junkin. She took me garage saling before I could drive and she was my first person I looked to for fashion. We both shared our love of dressing up for Halloween(she had some pretty good costumes thru the years!) My Grams was always there for me-someone I could talk to and share secrets. She will be missed by many at the barn-but mostly me!

Every time Grams came to the barn-she wore this shirt I had made for her. The back of the shirt said "I'm Ella Mae" and believe you me-she made sure everyone knew it too!!! She was so proud. I had plenty of people thru the years at the barn ask me if I was Ella Mae-to which I had to explain it all and show them the picture if she wasn't there!

I love you Grams-Start the party up there-I can't wait for you to show me around when I get there!!!

She will be with you every time you are in the barn, and you know that without a doubt.I am still sorry that you have lost her...but oh how lucky you were to have her in your life.When I think of you two, I think of all the times you dressed her up in goofy things for the holidays. I will be thinking of you all....love, ann

Very touching post, Rebecca! Your grandmother had lots of happy days surrounded by you--I know she'll be in spirit around you and you'll feel her presence often. Isn't it a true blessing to have a wonderful grandmother such as yours!
